    Wow! She looks 8 or 9 in that picture, yet she's 5/6 weeks away from 5!

    Midwife this morning. Not all straightforward. Will explain more later when I have time, but must go make Lucy and the girls some lunch.

    I hope all are well.

    Do you have a cupboard under the stairs Em? lol...

    BM, fabric softener is bad for the skin and can aggravate lung conditions with all the perfumes that are used... They make clothes more flammable and they're deadly to aquatic life when they get washed down the drains... Not to mention what they do inside the machine (considering they send the drawer black!) They also stop towels being absorbant so you're better off not using it for them anyway... I tumble dry my towels to make them soft...

    Got my free Nuby toy... It's the monkey...

    Sugar, that blog is fantastic!

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    MOTM - Hope everything's ok?

    Amelie's always being asked what year she's in at school and when she says she doesn't go yet people look at me as if I'm keeping her at home illegally! She's so tall and thin that she looks a lot older than she really is. You wouldn't believe the amount she eats! She eats more than I do, I even asked the HV if the amount she eats is normal, it's so much, but she's as skinny as anything - she's soooo active and energetic, I can't burn off all her energy, she just constantly runs around.

    That's a good metabolism to have though :D Tell her to lend me it for a fortnight? :p

    Im not sure if Keira scoffs heaps or not, she eats too many sweets I know that :D She weighs 2st 8 and is almost 3ft 5 which seems weird cause she don't look that tall to me but then I see her as a baaaaaaaaaaaaaby.

    Right off to the bank, and Keira is saying because she is sick then she can some fizzy pop from the shop to make her better....chancer :rotfl:

    I think you are right to contact the places you mention. I'm not sure what I could do to help, but if you think of something let me know. I know a very influential journalist who is currently freelancing for the Scotsman who you could contact - I know you aren't in scotland, but the camp was wasn't it?????;)

    That might help RMac, i'll try anything.

    The camp was in Scotland and Gillian is also Scotland based and her articles about how great the camps are keep appearing in Scottish newspapers (with no mention that she's working for them!).

    This is now available for all to read if you google bastarge camp. :p

    I'm in fear of losing my fighting spirit - i've just had a wobble on the walk back from the shops and suddenly needed a cry. :(


    Does anyone have any good ideas for the name of my facebook page? It needs to include Bastarge camp so it comes up in a facebook search.
